Analog and digital time sync problems with Casio G-Shock 3335

25th October 2007, 11:17 am


Question:

I have the 3335 G-shock and the analog hands are 10 minutes slow compared to
the digital time, the digital time being correct. Is there a way to fix this?

Answer:

For comparison, I did some research and found the following quote about the Casio G-Shock watches:

“Analog and digital time synchronization. This means that the hands on this watch are actually just an analog representation of the digital time. This may seem obvious, but Casio actually makes analog/digital watches where this is not the case. You can set the analog hands to be inconsistent with the digital time, but they will still be in-sync, just with an offset between them. I have another analog/digital G-Shock that arrived with the hands way off for some reason, but it was quite easy to get them synchronized, and they have stayed in-step ever since.”

I also downloaded the manual for the watch, and got more detail. If you don’t have the manual, see this article where I give Casio G-Shock 3335 manual download instructions.

Look at page 5 of the manual, under “Analog Timekeeping”. It talks about how to adjust the time so that your analog and digital times are in sync.

    I have had the problem with the analog hands being way out of sync with the digital time (digital always correct) several times. I sent the watch back to Casio for repair, which they finally did at no charge after some cajoling, but the problem keeps happening. I believe this is a defect in the watch.
